Thanks Carl and Watermom. I was figuring thats why I should add things through the skimmer (which this pool does have) but wanted to ask to be sure. Since I'm so new to this whole thing I figure asking more questions is better. We are loving having the pool so we want to make sure we know how to care for it in the best way possible. I'll prinbt this out and take it with me tomorrow when I go to get stuff.

I'll ask in the pumps section for advice on size etc.
